Three ministers at the launch of the second phase of 'A Healthy Start'

March 28th marked a great day in the history of Mission East and our Armenian partners. On that day, around 120 representatives of Armenian civil society and state institutions had come together to celebrate the launch of the second phase of the groundbreaking ‘A Healthy Start’ project implemented by Mission East and key Armenian Government and non-Governmental organizations.
For this major event, keynote speeches were made by – among others - three Government ministers, two members of the National Parliament as well as representatives of Mission East and our Armenian partners.
The event was also the focus of much attention from the media, with a number of major TV stations and written media representatives present. Thus, for several days after the event, Mission East, our partners and the ‘A Healthy Start’ project were brought to the attention of the wider population of Armenia, thus once again highlighting the plight of the thousands of disabled children still in need of early intervention and follow-up care.

Thomas Ploug, Chairman of the board of Mission East: "The launch of a project also inspires new hope since it marks the start of a process, which will give evidence to the belief that it is possible to make a difference – that it is possible to better the life of other people."
